“Wendy’s Weekly Picks,” is a feature in which I highlight stuff I like or recommend in the worlds of fashion, gift ideas, home decor, makeup, websites, entertainment, and recipes. Of course, much of the stuff I link to will be affiliate products, which means I’ll receive a commission on any click-throughs or purchases you make through the affiliate links. As always, I appreciate your support! Here are my favorite finds this week:
Need a new beach bag? I did. After many years, my inexpensive beach bag from Target bit the dust, so I replaced it with another cute (And inexpensive) beach bag from Target, because, hey, if you can get years of use out of a cute $35 lobster beach bag, you should!
And because I cannot resist a theme, how cute is this (majorly marked down) Le Creuset pot?
And this pool float!
This whole dish set from JCPenney (also marked down), which has been stepping up the cute lately.
I want these earrings.
I don’t know why this coin pouch key chain is so expensive, but oh, it’s adorable!
Also very expensive and the wrong season but so hot I had to share: this amazing skirt.
For the men (and, honestly, for the women who love the men, too).
Ok, changing themes, I saw this insulated stainless steel beer cozy in the most recent Bon Appetit and think it’s pretty ingenious. Hides your beer while keeping it ice cold for up to an hour. Who takes an hour to drink a beer though, seriously?
I bought myself this tank last week on sale at Anthropologie and I love it. The armholes are huge, so you’ll want a cute bra/bralette if you decide to try it yourself, but it’s flattering with the elastic waist, and under 30 bucks, so it’s a keeper for me.
I’m calling it — color of the summer.
I’ve been seeing these inflatable lounge “chairs” all over the parks and beaches this spring and summer. I haven’t bought one yet myself — the reviews seem very mixed. Does anyone have one? Thoughts?

The inflatable lounge chairs – I’ve seen these a couple of times on street fairs. The one guy kept trying to inflate it but there was not a bit of breeze that day, and he kept running up and down the sidewalk trying to fill it up to show a couple standing there. It was… sad because the damn thing wouldn’t fill up. 🙁
The other time I saw this, the sales guy filled up fairly quickly, but then it was sort of windy. So…. yeah. Cool idea, but to me it looked like too much trouble.

We got one of the lounge bags on sale and it’s a mixed bag. Easy to fill up on the beach, but it doesn’t stay inflated long and you have to do it every hour or so. But it’s super fun and comfy when it’s inflated. So, as long as you’re somewhere windy and its a snap to fill up, I’d say do it.

Fun in the Gondola is my favorite color year round! It’s my perfect neutral pink!

I haven’t noticed it before, but I love it.
